Wouldn't it be wise to begin to call Campaign Funds what it actually is --

for our own benefit and for the benefit of the listener?

Try to think about it consciously when you speak --

Let's see what impact it might have not only our ourselves, but on our politicians --



We have to break thru this fascist circle soon -- and IMO campaign funds is the place

to do it.

1. I'd take it one step further- call Congressmen what they are : prostitutes

3. On second thought, prostitutes will fuck anyone- Congress is only fucking us.

5. I think "bribery" could be a shocking enough start . . .
if we build a case for trying that out -- you can argue for further details!

4. Yes, but Baucus is making sure that his pals in the health insurance
industry get to keep all their ponies and have money to buy more and Obama appears to be going along with it.

"Bribe" is indeed the right word.

7. I might call it something else! INSTITUTIONALIZED bribery!
where it is basically a requirement under the current setup to get elected.
